I haven't looked into this game beyond your description, but it does sound like a pretty weird model. Do you also have to pay for cards on top of that?

It's not a card game, it's an async autobattler. As long as all the characters are roughly balanced against each other, there's nothing to be gained other than cosmetics (at the current state of the game).

I'm not sure how fucked up their prompt is (or how unlucky they were). I just did 3 tries and every time it used modulo.

I'm assuming they asked it specifically to either not use modulo or to do a suboptimal way to make this joke.

it was almost guaranteed we would get a sequel but it’s still nice to have an official confirmation now!

I'm just relieved to see マッドハウス (madhouse) on there. I was mildly worried they'd give it the OPM treatment.

Tangentially reminds me of Richard Feynman's Cataclysm Sentence.

If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence was passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words?

From experience with the beta and memory, your wife (and you) will be able to choose which version to play. Either yours with a ton of DLC or hers with none. You should both be able to use the version with all DLC, but not at the same time.

It's been a while since we tested this though so things might have changed, including my memory...

after leaving can’t join another for a year

Can you fix this? There was enough misinformation floating around about this already when this feature went into beta.

Adults can leave a family at any time, however, they will need to wait 1 year from when they joined the previous family to create or join a new family.

it should say something like: "After joining, can't join another for a year"

Good intentions alone don't guarantee good outcomes. I suggest not giving any single person or entity too much power, no matter who they are.

I'm still not 100% trusting that. Any time a dev comes up with a new feature like this one, they might forget to implement a check if the game is privated (or do the check and mess up properly hiding it).

I'd argue that with their definition of bots as "a software application that runs automated tasks over the internet" and later their definition of download bots as "Download bots are automated programs that can be used to automatically download software or mobile apps.", automated software updates could absolutely be counted as bot activity by them.

Of course, if they count it as such, the traffic generated that way would fall into the 17.3% "good bot" traffic and not in the 30.2% "bad bot" traffic.

Looking at their report, without digging too deep into it, I also find it concerning that they seem to use "internet traffic" and "website traffic" interchangeably.

Even worse, a VAC ban in your game will probably transfer to your account in general. You won't only be affected in that game, but in any games that check your VAC status.
